Blog 2

In the past few weeks I have learned,engaged and found a couple of things interesting. While I read and watched documentaries required in the last few weeks. What had engaged me the most about the readings was the talk about the readings was the talk and concern about hacking. While we discussed hacking whether harmless but intense curiosity to a criminal act.


What made this the most engaging subject to me in the past few weeks was the fact it is hard to decide when the one switches over to the other. Hacking is wrong and usually used for terrible things such as budding up a modem or simply constant virus pop ups. The thing is if someone is hacking and invading your privacy or maybe stealing your files in the end it does not so much harm you in any way. The only way a hacker could use any of that against you is financial gain or embarrassment otherwise your life would be fine and you would not even know of it.


Now I believe hacking to be a criminal act when it is done for pure enjoyment to ruin companies files or changing data bases and screwing up master codes for serious business and bureaus across the Unites States. If someone deals in hacking in these types of conditions it is know doubt it is a criminal act and the individual should be using their knowledge for the better of the world instead of trying to ruin it. The material in the past weeks I was not very much engaged in would include some ideas and quotes from Tavani in the earlier weeks including media material.


What surprised me this week was the discussion about certain speech behind censored on the internet. This had surprised me because their most definitely should be censored topics on the internet. This had surprised me because their most definitely should be censored topics online but a child should not be online without a parent. Websites that younger viewers should not participate in should not be seen. Things in my opinion do not need to be censored because if there is a child on the computer the parent should always be there so why would the child ever see anything they should not be online.


I had many different things in the past weeks that I have talked about but the thing that stood out the most is how I learned about how many different types of things the internet is used for and how ridiculous it is to think we did not always have it. The internet proves to make our lives easier and better. The world would be fine without the internet but I feel as if people would go crazy. When people go crazy there is always disaster and tragedy. In my everyday life I will take what I learned in the past dew weeks and use them in positive ways. When it comes to hacking,personal opinion and censoring online I know much more on the subject and believe it to be very interesting.


I had talked to some friends of mine about hacking and one of my friends is actually really skilled in the trade. My buddy can go on a site call someone make it look like it is a different contact shows up and the person receiving the call has no idea. The person will believe you are who you said to be especially because this option of using a voice over is available. These things in the future that have been created online are scary and may be the problem with the world in decades to come.
